So you put the nice wood on the outside and left the inside walls ugly as crate metal? That seems like an odd choice to me.

THis is what I want to know.The route they went, is there any monetary benefit to using containers?I'm thinking not, and prob have low R val
kilolover7777
Looked into this before. ~$2-3k for one modded to accommodate a person living in it (insulation, wiring, etc.)
kilolover7777
So unless you go overboard with it (like this post) you can get a thousand sqft for ~$6-10k
woodjoiner
If they are in Canada with a glass garage door as a window they do not care about R-value or money.
maves
1/To clad them you basically have to re build the walls around them and once you start cutting into them and stacking them off their corners
maves
2/their structural properties diminish so quickly that they need extra steel and structure anyway.
HarambeDidntDieInVain
That's what I was thinking. Plain steel isn't a very good insulator and on a hillside like that the wind will just rip right through
nowitsshowtime
Exactly so they have to spend additional money for (I'm assuming) insulation under the wood siding.Foam board =$$$ and lower R-values
Yummyyummytacoz
Sub. Leaking would be my biggest concern as you can add as much insulation to achieve your rating but it's all worthless if it gets wet
Yummyyummytacoz
Fur out your wall with metal studs and blow in your insulation, not use the strips. Sheet it up and hire a really really good waterproofing
Yummyyummytacoz
But a conventionally stick framed building has a much higher r value :P you would install chairs for the ext siding to be fastened to then
Yummyyummytacoz
Lol haven't heard R VALUE since school
woodjoiner
Sorry. We are talking about a different R value.
Yummyyummytacoz
Not transfer of heat?
aquaponicsguru
They have special coatings plus spray foam. I hear humidity can be the issue instead.
ratilda
Also, the marine paint, that these containers were treated with initially, has lead in it.
woodjoiner
Wow I've never heard about that problem.
KingBamboo
Shipping containers are cheap. 1600 - 200$
nowitsshowtime
factor in the non traditional methods of constructing around it, no insulation, and therefore additional planning and funds, seems not worth
KingBamboo
I dont know - I dont know how much you have to invest to turn shipping containers into a home...
SalsaRice
There is a future in building with discarded ShipContainers, but somebodies gotta start it. Cheaper with time.
nowitsshowtime
I think this is on the cheaper end or in poor condition. I'd say these cost more. Even at $10k for 4 would be a good price. But then

If you look in the second to last pic the walls are a lot thicker than just the metal and wood would be. There is probably a layer between.

The roofs of these containers are not meant to bear weight, so they have to be reinforced, plus obv all the aesthetic stuff inside
Waidonut
Don't know why you're getting downvoted, but the whole structure needs to be reinforced especially if adding windows too.
d0o0o0d
You sure about that? I've seen them stacked 6 high on the ships.
idontwannayoucantmakeme
I used to stack them 4 high on the ground. There's a very small space on the corners that can bear weight, otherwise they're rather fragile
aboxacaraflatafan
The frame holds them, not the top (roof, I guess) of the container.

Not true, theyre made to boat load of weight. Literally. Source: i looked into this constructio with concerns of hurricanes on my mind

Article says the ceiling's basically a thin piece of galvanized steel that moves up and down when walked on. However the floors are strong.
rqwertwylker
They flipped them upside down and added 5 inches of polished concrete with radiant heating on the floors on each level.

Miscommunication on my part here! The corners are super strong, but not the siding. So it can support that boatload, but only at the edges.

There's four of those containers. So even just bare skeleton of the house costs more than a brand-new Honda Civic. Errrrgh.

I'd rather live in a bathtub of my own shit than own a brand-new civic (unless it's the new Type-R). Why would you compare it to that?
ImgurSage
Just pointing out that "less than $5k per container" is a LOT, enough to buy a popular model of car, brand-new.

Fair enough, though I wouldn't really call the civic (or any econobox in that price range e.g., corolla, swift) a "car"
JamBarn

I would LOVE to have bought my starter home 100K..

If you paid X amount for a home and you think the above home is nicer, then it likely cost more than the home you bought.
NewfieScreech
Did I say that I thought this was nicer? I'm just saying I would have loved to have only spent 100K for the quality of the home I have.
lettucerejoiceinthenameofscience
Then you should have bought a cheaper home?! I don't understand some of these points. Are you sure you own a home?
NewfieScreech
Now that you mention it, no..I do not own a home. lol

even shit starter houses can cost more then a 105k buddy...
Penguinsandbroadswords
Nope, the house my husband made me pass up on was 25K, my friend bought it instead and only spent 35K fixing it up to amazing.

here in USA, Missouri. 70k can get you a really nice house. 30-40k would be a starter house here. For instance 1/2
MatthewEis
the house I'm trying to buy is 70k for 2 bathroom, 4 bedroom, deck new appliances, and detached garage with a kitchen in it. (2/2)

Hah bought mine for $30K. Don't live in it though, I lease it out.

I'm not your buddy, friend

completely dependant on where you live. Where I grew up a dumpster would cost you $200k. Where I am now $200k buys a damn nice house.

The property costs money too...
themeanmango
So, 1500-3000 depending on where you live. Drop in the bucket in he grand scheme of things.

To buy the house or to construct it?
lettucerejoiceinthenameofscience
To construct this house it would have been at least 300K easy - in most places. I areas of Cali, it could have been much much more.

Buy and refinish

A shit house in a bad part of town where i live will start at 300k-350k. And will be much smaller and look nowhere near as nice and clean.
lettucerejoiceinthenameofscience
Everything in such an area costs more. The labor and materials to do the work done to this would be more expensive.
lettucerejoiceinthenameofscience
In parts of California, you are looking at a million dollar+ home.
noyougofuckyourself
Let me guess, so. California? Neighborhoods we used to avoid are now upwards of 400k. I will never be able to own a home here.

A shit house in a bad part of town where I live is like 9-10K
lettucerejoiceinthenameofscience
Just the foundation and concreate is going to cost a great deal of money.
